I just wanted to say how very important the good manners of children are. I have seen the results in my own kids and the doors that have opened because they simply used good manners. I was very determined that my kids would have good manners, and if they forgot, I would say "thank you" or whatever, and they would have to repeat it. Eventually, I guess they just decided it was more expedient to say it the first time instead of having to repeat after Mom. I also made them learn to say "yes Ma'am", "no sir" etc., and have even had people make fun of me because of it. But I've seen how much people have appreciated it. They are 25 and 18 now and still use good manners. My son even texts "yes Ma'am" when I ask him a question via text. Manners DO matter, and I believe can set us apart as Christians, in a world that is increzasingly becoming more rude.
